Bans owners of federally assisted rental housing from using facial recognition, physical biometric, or remote biometric technology in dwelling units or on the property for surveillance or in ways that make it harder for tenants to access fair, non‑discriminatory affordable housing. The ban takes effect one year after the law is enacted and defines which housing programs and kinds of biometric technology are covered.

Requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to publish a report within one year describing known uses of these biometric technologies in covered federally assisted rental units over the prior five years, including installation purposes, resident demographics, and impacts on privacy, civil rights, and fair housing.
